1 Peter 2:6 KJV

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - 1 Peter 2:6-8

1 Peter 2:6-8. Wherefore also To which purpose; it is contained in the Scripture In Isaiah 28:16, the passage before referred to. Behold, I lay in Sion a chief corner-stone To support and hold together the whole building. This, as explained Ephesians 2:21, signifies the union of Jews and Gentiles in one faith, baptism, and hope, so as to form one church or temple for the worship of God through the mediation of Christ. And he that believeth on him With a lively faith, a faith... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - 1 Peter 2:4-10

God’s living temple (2:4-10)People in general might see no worth in Christ and reject him, but God sees him as the chosen one through whom sinners have eternal life. Those who receive new life through Christ are likened to living stones who form a temple in which God is worshipped. They also form the priesthood that offers the worship (4-5).Christ is the chief cornerstone in this living building, and those who believe in him will never be disappointed (6). The people of Israel, who were... read more

Because it is contained in Scripture, Behold, I lay in Zion a chief cornerstone, elect, precious: And he that believeth on him shall not be put to shame. For you therefore that believe is the preciousness: but for such as disbelieve, The stone which the builders rejected, The same was made the head of the corner; and, A stone of stumbling, and a rock of offence; for they stumble at the word, being disobedient: whereunto also they were appointed.Behold I lay in Zion ...

1 Peter 2:6. Wherefore—it is contained, &c.— St. Peter has given us the sense of Isa 28:16 but not exactly the words, either according to the Hebrew or the LXX.; which was a common way of quoting among the ancients. See the notes on Isa read more

6. Wherefore also—The oldest manuscripts read, "Because that." The statement above is so "because it is contained in Scripture." Behold—calling attention to the glorious announcement of His eternal counsel. elect—so also believers (1 Peter 2:9, "chosen," Greek, "elect generation"). precious—in Hebrew, Isaiah 28:16, "a corner-stone of preciousness." See on Isaiah 28:16- :. So in 1 Peter 2:7, Christ is said to be, to believers, "precious," Greek, "preciousness." confounded—same Greek as in Romans... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - 1 Peter 2:1-10

C. Our Priestly Calling 2:1-10Peter continued his explanation of Christians’ duties as we endure trials and suffering joyfully. He called his readers to do certain things in the world of unbelievers, and he reminded them of certain realities in this pericope. He did so to motivate them to press on to finish God’s plan and purpose for them in the world now."The great doxology (1 Peter 1:3-12) begins with praise to God, who is the One who begot us again. All hortations that follow grow out of... read more

II. THE IDENTITY OF CHRISTIANS 1:3-2:10The essentially chiastic structure of thought in the letter, excluding the introduction and conclusion, can be visualized in the outline (above). The recurrence of the direct address "Beloved" in 1 Peter 2:11 and 1 Peter 4:12 divides this letter into three main parts."The theme of the first part is the identity of the people of God established on the basis of the great salvation Christ has accomplished (and is accomplishing) on their behalf. Their identity... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - 1 Peter 2:6

Before going on, however, Peter elaborated on the foundation of this building, the church. "Zion" here refers to the heavenly Jerusalem, that larger eschatological entity of which the church will be a part (cf. Revelation 21:14). The "corner stone" refers to the main stone on which the building rests. It does not refer to a modern corner stone or to the last stone the mason put at the top of the building, the keystone (Isaiah 28:16; cf. Ephesians 2:20). In view of this, it seems that the rock... read more
